This Town

CAPO: 2nd Fret 



Intro: G  C  (4x)  G 

               C 
This town is a lot like me 
G                        C 
Sadder and wiser than it used to be 
  G                      C 
A little sprawled out, a little rundown 
  G                     C             G     
I wonder what's gonna become of this town 


                  C          
This town has its highs and lows 
      G                        C       
And a hole in the middle where nobody goes 
G                              C                               
People come through, but they don't hang around 
  G                        C              G      
Nobody wants to get to the heart of this town 


                      C          
But this town has its own sweet charms 
G                         C         
Open your heart and it'll open its arms 
G                        C 
Take you by the hand and show you around 
        G                       C         G     
There's still a lot of life left in this town 


 
Em             C             G                 D 
All that I can see is lovers kissing in the street 
Em             C               D 
Swaying to the beat of a rusty radio 
Em                 C               G                  D 
And all that I can hear is another late night symphony 
    Em               C              D 
The sound of traffic moving like an undertow  


Instrumental: G  C  (3x)  G 


                C      G     
This town can't get no rest 
                      C 
Everybody thinks that they know best 
               G                         C 
They're either building it up or they're tearing it down 
     G                             C         G     
They can't seem to love it like it is, this town 


 
Em            C            G                     D 
All I wanna do_ tonight is kiss you in the street 
Em             C               D 
Swaying to the beat of a rusty radio 
    Em            C              G              D 
And all I wanna do_ is feel your arms around me too 
Em            C            D           G 
Pulling on my body like an undertow 


               C         
This town is a lot like me 
  G                             C 
A little coat of paint and some TLC 
           G                 C 
And she'll light right up if you come around 
    G                         C           G     C   G 
You know that you never wanna leave this town 
                              C           G     C 
You know that you never wanna leave this town
